Definetely not useless and crappy in my opinion. Everyone says "there's no action" well it is meant to be a real dipiction of Marines, who often found themselves feeling perhaps USELESS during that war, as it was fought for the most part by air...and they were promised that they wouldn't just be sitting in the desert for hundreds of days waiting for no reason. I thought the acting was superb, but I guess you have to like military movies to enjoy it, and I do.
